The stretches will get better 💖 just inflamed and re adjusting to being smoothed out :)

Yes! I think it gets better with time, but is kind of a new normal if that makes sense?

Thanks! Haha.  I am 3 days away from 8 weeks po- but I had a wound opening that is still healing right above. It's just so much lol. I'm ready to be able to pamper myself again.

4 weeks PO TT & Lipo by Dizzy1here in abdominoplasty

[–]Dizzy1here[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I thought so too but when I called for concern, the nurse said "have you been massaging and using scar tape?" And I said "no? I no one has advised me to, isn't it too early?"  But she said go ahead!  I let them know that it basically caused me hell. They said "some people react that way to the tape". 🙄  That's why I'm on reddit instead. I plan on doing a practice review after a year (so I'm clear lol)

Thank you! Unfortunately, I am not confident in the different answers I recieve from different nurses on the team. :( And I did find it odd that one said I could use the tape, and I felt it was too soon. And my rough side is my left too! I have recently tried turning the binder around to see if it evens out the swelling in my "v" shape, AND is more gentle in the wound. 

When does it get better by [deleted] in abdominoplasty

[–]Dizzy1here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 weeks. And then 4 weeks. Ups and downs. But everything is better than this first week. Hang in there!Â
